E55 Stage 1 VS CL600 Stock V12TT
Had a bit of fun with a buddy and his Stage 1 E55 (Pulley and Tune) and my Stock CL600.
We made several rolling runs from about 30 - 100. Each run one of us would get a bit of a jump, whoever got the jump would hold it but not pull away.
These 2 cars are pretty dead even for now, I plan to do a ECU tune so we wanted to see what they would be like before and after.

Well, odd enough, I own both. Both with tunes as well. And speed wise, its about as expected. The E55 feels faster around town at lower speeds. But give them a chance to strech their legs, my CL600 pulls like a train!

I raced a friend with my VRP package and he sold his E55 the following week. LOL
He was nearly stage 4 almost, If I recall. Although there are some heavily modified 55's that will give my old V12 a run for its money.

Keep in mind that pretty much any tune only V12TT car will run mid-11's@120-122
Now think about what has to be done to a 55K car, to do the same.

Yeah a tuned V12tt is lethal, add similar mods & LIGHTS OUT
Drives: 2005 E55
11s with street tires club !!!
Took my car to NED tonight the way I drive it to work everyday and nailed an 11.8@119.
ran 5 back to back runs and the car was trapping 118-120 all night.
My issues are solved and it was the spark plugs(they were all loose)Ill be hitting the dyno soon to see the real gains on my TB upgrade.My last attempt hit 502whp but with the a/f in the 10s and I was trapping 116 that same day at the track.
But dyno says 30whp up top end!!!
